Pawtuxet Farmers Market is back in action

STARTING YOUNG: Neala Pyne and Wesley Memery were the youngest salespeople at the market, and were busy handing out cupcakes to customers.

LOCAL CATCH: Joe Blum from The Local Catch in Point Judith was a big draw at the market, selling fresh fish. This is The Local Catch’s first full season, after Captain Richard Cook was pleased by support he received last fall.

PLANTING A SEED: Three-year-old Lucy holds a strawberry plant she and her family purchased at the market.

The Pawtuxet Village Farmers Market opened for the season on Saturday, across from The Shriner’s Imperial Room on the Warwick-Cranston line. The market is open Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon, and offers a variety of local vendors, including LeFavorite Bakery of Warwick and the Presto Strange O Coffee Truck, which was parked at the market offering cold and hot teas, coffees and esspresso to go along with fresh breads and Danish being served by other vendors.
